The XSR inductive ring sensor activates whenever a metallic object passes through its 5 to 100-mm (i.d.) ring, suiting the sensor for detection of small pieces of metal or breaks in a continuous metal ...

Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...

Developed as an alternative to passive infrared (PIR) sensors, STMicroelectronics has launched its ultra-low-power STHS34PF80 IR sensor for human-presence and motion detection in alarm and security ...

SICK, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sensors, safety systems, machine vision, encoders and automatic identification solutions for factory and logistics automation, today announced the ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Since it would be challenging to find all the different types of sensors in one place, we decided to put together a list of some of the best ...

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of 35-millimeter film. But what happens when you want to take a picture of something ...

Reliable detection of fast-moving objects or objects that are tough to detect at longer ranges distinguishes SICK’s Dx35 line of laser distance measurement sensors. Reliable detection of fast-moving ...

At the center of a new,automated plastic sorting system is a sensor that can detect the differencesamong six types of detectable plastics: PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PE(polyethylene), PVC ...
